🎃 Stuffed Pepper Pumpkins 🎃

A yearly tradition 😀

A well balanced family meal idea ahead of trick-or-treating 👻

You will need:
🔸4 colourful peppers
🔸500g beef mince (optional)
🔸Medium red onion
🔸Tinned tomatoes
🔸Small courgette
🔸2 garlic cloves
🔸Season to your liking, I used (salt, pepper, chilli flakes, Worcestershire sauce)
🔸Tomato sauce for the base
🔸Cheddar cheese
🔸1 and a half cups of cooked Quinoa or mixed grains

🔹 Cut the tops off the peppers (keeping the tops to one side) and remove the seeds and any white flesh from inside.

🔹Use a small sharp knife to carve spooky Halloween faces into the sides. Eat the off cuts as you go along 😂


🔹Heat oil in the pan, and heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

🔹Cook the chopped onion in the oil for 3 mins until starting to soften, then add the minced garlic, courgette (finely chopped or grated) and cook for another 5 mins, until the veggies are soft.

🔹 Add your beef mince (optional) & cook until it’s no longer pink, season to taste!

🔹 Stir through the the mixed grains & tinned tomatoes, leave to simmer for a few mins, adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce 😃

🔹 Taste test & add more salt/pepper if necessary! 

🔹 Fill each pepper with the mixture. Replace the lids, and put the peppers in a deep roasting tin with the carved faces facing upwards.

🔹Cover with foil and bake for 35 mins…. Take the tops off for the final 10 mins and add a sprinkling of cheddar cheese, leave the foil off for this final 10 mins until the cheese has melted & peppers have a little charred look 😀

🔹The peppers should be soft and the filling piping hot.

🔹 Warm through some tomato sauce in a pan to spread on the plate for the peppers to sit on top of 🎃 ENJOY x

Save this one for later x

This is so easy to make I promise you can do this too!

🍅 Cut 8 tomatoes into quarters and place them on one tray

🍅 Then cut 3 red bell peppers into quarters and place them on another tray, with 2 small onions cut into wedges & 6 cloves of garlic unpeeled.

🍅 Drizzle olive oil over the veggies and give them a little shakey shake to ensure they are all slightly coated (1 tablespoon for each tray)

🍅 Pop the tomato tray on the top rack of the oven and the pepper tray in the middle

🍅 I didn’t set a timer for this as I cooked them until they had that charred look (more flavour 😃) but it was about 40 mins they were in there for!

🍅When the veggies are nearly done Sauté some celery for extra goodness and then add the veggie broth! (1x vegetable stock cube to 400ml water) if you like your soup a little thicker then use less water.

🍅 Allow to boil in a big pot over a medium/high heat & add in the garlic (obviously take the skins off them first)

🍅 Add the roasted veggies to the pot, half teaspoon of paprika & add a pinch of chilli flakes for a little spice 🙂 plus a little salt.

🍅 Allow to simmer for 10 mins, then transfer to a blender, I blitzed mine in batches & seasoned to taste 😃

🍅 I added a little basil to mine and served it with avo sourdough toast but it’s also extra delicious with a little slice of cheesy toast 😍 the best winter warmer!!!

All I can say is….. where the fluff did September go? 😭😂😅

Good bye September… Hello October 🍁

🎉 Celebrating 5 years of Elate Fitness 🎉

Let’s have a little look into where it all began!

🩷 That first picture says ALOT 😂 if you know you know…. This is what I used to drag my gear in to Goals Sports centre when it all started 😂 honestly it was a nightmare 😂 I can whole heartedly say I started from the bottom and worked my way up!!!!

Started from the bottom…. Now we’re here 😜

🩷 Second pic was my last class teaching at Anytime Fitness 🥲

🩷The very last day of Anytime Fitness & my amazing time as a manager X I loved that place and the people in it x

🩷 Celebrating the beginning of Elate Fitness, with a practice class in my garden 😂

🩷 First class at Goals sports centre… I started teaching just 2x classes a week, whilst working at Dance East Cafe x

🩷 I then moved to Ravenswood & Lockdown struck! There were some positives for me as I was able to train outside & this brought the community together x

🩷 Clients came to me rain, snow & shine 🫶🏻

🩷 I was then super lucky to have been approached about a unit that was a stones throw away from where I lived 🙌

🩷 My true Elate Fitness vision started to come to light 😀 & I got the lease for our lovely little private unit!

🩷 I still have lots of work to do but things are progressing nicely 🤗

🩷 I have welcomed back those amazing clients that have stuck with me through and through (you know who you are 🤗) and welcomed new faces with open arms 🫂

🩷 I look back on my journey and I am so proud 🥹 from someone that lacks self belief, finds it difficult not to compare to others, is an over thinker, worries about the smallest things and worries about what people think….. I have come a long way!!!

Remember: Action is key & surround yourself with good, honest people who have your back during the good times and the bad X

🩷 Thank you for choosing me, choosing Elate Fitness to be a part of your health & fitness journeys…. I am forever grateful 🫂 Now let’s party hard tomorrow 🎉 😉🫶🏻

Happy to YOU ….
ALL of my amazing clients & my FB famalam 🫶🏻

The theme being: “Your Health is for life” 💪

Lets celebrate the uniting power of physical activity 🔥

I know for sure our small group training sessions have brought people together, and you have made such great friendships from working out together X

Let’s celebrate the ups and downs of our fitness journeys….. it’s not about being perfect but about showing up for yourselves each day, even when times are tough.

Every step you take makes you stronger 💪 it’s not about the pounds you are losing …. It’s about the quality of life you are gaining 🩷

So I want you to share with me those gains .. whatever that may look/feel for you and tag me 🤗

Ps I still have space in tonight’s sessions 5.30PM & 6.30PM so if there is the perfect day to get back into exercise it is today 😜 START TODAY on National Fitness Day 💪
